Kopista Bartleby. Historia z Wall Street

Melville's use of sparse language makes Bartleby's silence almost deafening. I wonder if this was a deliberate effort to emphasize his detachment or to challenge the reader's engagement.

The story subtly builds a tension where the narrator's attempts to understand and help Bartleby seem to deepen his own despair. How did others interpret this dynamic?

The bustling city contrasts sharply with Bartleby's stillness. I wonder how much the urban environment shapes the characters' sense of alienation and societal pressure.
